radiator in Automotive Engineering

The radiator in a vehicle is the part of the engine that is filled with water in order to cool
the engine.

Car radiator failures are usually caused by loss of cooling water from breaks in the rubber tubing
rather than fracture of the reservoir. If the coolant needs refilling, make sure to wait until the engine and radiator are cold. The smoke billowing from the engine was due to a broken radiator.
